DH will no longer do joint posts on Instagram

As per the title - Easter Sunday is off to a dreadful start with ā€˜D’ H and I already having had an argument.

Some background, we have individual insta’s but for any major ā€˜announcements/events’ as such we will use the collaboration feature so the post appears on both our grids. Think engagement, wedding, pregnancy-gender reveal/birth, anniversary etc.

It’s our DD’s first Easter so I’ve got her a brilliant outfit, some props and of course eggs. I’ve also got a personalised sort of sign which says it’s her first Easter.

I said to H I’ll get the photos done after breakfast and we can joint post. He says it’s stupid to do this and doesn’t warrant all the effort as it’s ’only Easter’ so he won’t be putting it on his grid.

AIBU to feel pissed off with him? It will look strange if it’s only on my page.

I’m muting notifications now. At the end of the day, us ladies need to know our worth - if you aren’t happy with something your
partner has or hasn’t done, then tell them.

You are definitely the Mother’s Day and birthday poster. She said a very similar thing, practically word for word

Knowing your worth has nothing to do with Instagram

XxSideshowAuntSallyx · 20/04/2025 21:11

This all sounds like something the trollop woman who slept with Kyle Walker would do. Staged photos with props for the Insta followers.

Narcissist

ThisOldThang · 20/04/2025 21:14

This is Grade A top-drawer trolling.

It reminds me of when trolling was a respected artform - before the clueless legacy media redefined it as waging an online hate campaign.

Any comments on our standards?

Thank you, he has brought me a nice egg but as far as DD is concerned he hasn’t bothered ā€˜as she’s too young to know what’s going on’…

Well, he's right about that, surely, isn't he?

GoldBeautifulHeart · 20/04/2025 21:39

Glad I don't have to know my worth from my partner of 18 years through likes or validation from the Internet.

Handbagcuriosity · 20/04/2025 21:47

So you chose to taint your Easter Day to get your insta posts up and pretend it is all happy families rather than focusing on making it a good day. I feel sorry for your DH who no doubt has relented for an easier life. Social media really isn’t important! It not worth pissing your other half off for!

Commecicommeca26 · 20/04/2025 21:51

I think people are being unnecessarily unkind. Whilst this isn’t something I would do, you are free to do it. If he would do it before and now won’t, I can understand why you’d find this confusing and maybe feel insecure about it. Hope you both figure it out.

Maybe he had finally started to grow up.

The amount of women on this post tearing another woman down is really, really sad. Get a grip the lot of you - anonymity on the internet is not an excuse to be cruel. Just because someone records things or celebrates differently to you, or thinks different things are important - it doesn’t make it wrong, or silly, or worth taking the mick about. Just nasty.

Sorry but this is absolute bollox. "Women supporting women" boils my blood. I won't stand by someone doing something I think is batshit crazy just because she has a vagina!

BlazenWeights · 20/04/2025 22:06

Social media will be the bane of this society 😭

MumCanIHaveASnackPlease · 20/04/2025 22:07

Stop posting your children on the internet. It’s full of pedos, weirdos and general wrong uns. Anyone still doing this in the year 2025 is painfully self absorbed.

I think you’re being ridiculous but I guess this is what happens when Gen X become parents.

Sorry, have to disagree here. This is 100% millennial flavour fizz.

Hi OP - are you really Amanda from Amandaland? Sounds like her kind of Co-lab….🤣🤣🤣

Why is it "really really sad". Having a vagina doesn't automatically meanyou are not to be criticised by other women. It also doesn't earn you their immediate and unquestioned support either.

It really isn’t. They’re not varying their threads enough, it’s pretty much the same as their previous two. Very formulaic, imo.

You obviously have no idea what Gen X actually means as its youngest members are now 45!

We Gen X’ers do not live through instagram and this is not Gen X behaviour (or any Generation tbh).

Why the slight towards Gen X? You sound jealous.

Even us Millennials want nothing to do with it. Got to be under 30 to care I think

Where did he bring it from? Was it one of the props?! What were the rest of the ā€œprops?ā€

I quite agree.
Formulaic or not, it had the desired effect!

Lankylilly · 21/04/2025 08:18

There seems to have been a lot of posts in the last few days about other people not being willing to post on social media. Is there an epidemic?

whatkatydid2014 · 21/04/2025 08:29

LobeliaBaggins · 20/04/2025 10:27

It is.
OP has posted about Mother's Day, her birthday, and now Easter.
Yes, I spend too much time on MN.

Me too - I also saw the Mother’s Day one

OK, l’ll edit my post just for you -

You’re not sorry though, are you. But I do feel sorry for you, feeling so intensely about the way someone else chooses to celebrate seems like a strange way to spend your energy.
